Homework Statement
Calculate the hydroxide ion concentration:
16.5 mL of aqueous sulfuric acid at 1.5 M added to 12.7 mL of sodium hydroxide at 5.5M.
2. The attempt at a solution
H2SO4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq) <--> 2 H2O (l) + Na2SO4 (aq)
Hydrogen Concentration: (16.5 mL / 1000) (1.5 M) = 0.02475 moles
Hydroxide Concentration: (12.7 mL / 1000) (5.5 M) = 0.06985 moles
0.0451 moles of Hydroxide / (16.5 + 12.7 mL) = 1.54 M
